Embodiments relate to a controller operable to transmit digital data messages to a receiver via a communication link having at least a first and a second transmission path, the controller comprising a first signal terminal the first transmission path and a second signal terminal for the second transmission path. The first signal terminal is operable to digitally transmit a first message to the receiver according to a first transmission technique and the second signal terminal is being operable to digitally transmit a second message to the receiver according to a second, different transmission technique.

Method, apparatus and computer program for digital transmission of messages

A transmitter component includes an input terminal and a first semiconductor portion with doped regions of a control-side interface circuit. The control-side interface circuit converts a digital input signal received at the input terminal into a transmit radio frequency signal. A control-side metallization structure on at least one of two horizontal main surfaces of the first semiconductor portion includes at least a portion of a control-side antenna structure that emits the transmit radio frequency signal as radio wave. A transceiver circuit may include the transmitter component and a receiver component.

According to some possible implementations, a monitoring device may receive a set of inputs from one or more drivers of a device connected to a bus. The one or more drivers may be capable of driving a bus line of the bus, and the bus may connect multiple devices capable of driving the bus line. The monitoring device may determine a length of time over which the set of inputs maintains a value indicating that the bus is not idle. The monitoring device may compare the length of time and a threshold. The monitoring device may output a signal based on comparing the length of time and the threshold.
